changing from a desktop environment to a window manager
well, ive gotten sick and tired of using a whole desktop environment. honestly, i don't use all the stuff that it provides. so i have decided to make the switch. im going over to just a window manager.

right now, im testing out openbox. unfortunately, you can't use compiz in combination with just a window manager, as compiz is a window manager in itself (you can apparently tweak compiz to act as a window manager, but im not attempting that for at least a day or two).

here's a screenshot fo my current openbox desktop. note the extraordinarily low resource usage.

(sorry for the poor quality screenshot, its a jpeg)
